The Walton Co Jail is a detention center located at 796 Triple "G" Rd Defuniak Springs, FL which is operated locally by the Walton County Sheriff's Office and holds inmates awaiting trial or sentencing or both. Most of the sentenced inmates are here for less than two years. Walton County accepts inmates from surrounding towns, Defuniak Springs Police Department, and the US Marshal's Service.
New detainees arrive at the jail regularly, with some being released on bail, placed under pretrial services caseloads, supervised by probation agencies, or released on recognizance with a court appearance agreement. Those who are not released await their court appearances at the jail, receiving accommodations including bedding and meals.
The Walton County Jail, an accredited facility with a capacity of 596 beds, is responsible for the housing, custody, and care of both male and female inmates in Walton County. The facility maintains an average daily population of 500 inmates. Detention Deputies, who are sworn law enforcement officers maintaining the same state law enforcement certifications as patrol deputies, provide round-the-clock care, custody, and control of the inmates.
Inmates at Walton County Jail are encouraged to participate in various educational and vocational programs designed to enhance their lives and reduce recidivism. The jail offers a range of inmate programs including the GED Program, Heavy Equipment Operation Program, Parenting Classes, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Certification, and a Farming Program. Additionally, the facility provides the "Living in Balance: Addiction Recovery and Life Reclamation" program, an in-house residential substance abuse treatment program, as well as a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) Program.
